The motherboard is a MSI MS-7184 in a emachine model t6524 and what is happening is when you turn on the computer, it starts and the lights on the keyboard light up and shut off, then it brings you to the first screen on start up and in that screen it gives you two options f2 for bios settings and f10 for boot menu... At that screen everything stops and nothing works.. you cant select either menu and I have used the standard plug and usb keyboard thinking it was the keyboard at first... I get nothing and nothing works I try even an usb keyboar but with the same result .. Any ideas?
Sounds like your processor might be heating up too fast. I would take the computer apart, clean it removing all dust from the fans, check to see if the fan is actually spinning and check to make there the silicon glue has not dried up. It could also be that your power supply isnt supplying enough power but if you haven't added any devices that wouldn't be the issue.

disconnect all power sources from the lap top. Press the power button for about 30 secs. But power cable and battery back in. Start the lap top. i called the technical support, and that's what they told me to do, and it worked! good luck!

It sounds like either RAM or VIDEO problem to me. (I can't remember the specific beep sequence for AMI bios errors).
Hard to diagnose in Laptops.... if it was a desktop you can just start swapping out the RAM DIMMS..... are you techo enough to check whether you have 1 or 2 RAM cards installed? If 2 then run it with each card in turn to see if it boots (indicating 1 faulty RAM stick). If only 1 then try running MEMTEST on it to see if any errors. (I like HIRENS if you have it... I think it usually has latest MEMTEST on it).
If your cards all pass then its very likely a video problem. If its onboard video with no expansion slot (likely in a laptop) then you may be buggered.
Let me know if you need a hand doing any of the above.

Have you tried "Delete" to enter the "Bios Settings"? If not this must be the shortcut for your laptop, since most compaqs' Bios settings are accessed with "del" key. Actually for Hp compaq laptops, F1, F2, F10 and Delete keys are the shortcuts. (varies with series/models).
If this doesn't help, try Fn+F1, Fn+F2, Fn+F10 etc..
Good luck.
Thanks for using FixYa.
